What each ingredient does

Boiled icing
Forms the creamy base of the filling and gives it body that spreads easily.
Bananas
Add fruity flavor and soft texture to the icing.

The step that matters

Let the boiled icing thicken before adding bananas. Boiled icing must thicken enough to spread before fruit is stirred in. Banana adds moisture, so a thin icing will become runny and fail to hold its shape in the filling.
